What foods should the elderly with coronary heart disease not eat?
Coronary heart disease is a common cardiovascular chronic disease. In addition to drug control, diet and lifestyle also have a great impact on the condition. What should you eat if you have coronary heart disease?
Patients often ask me this question, but this question is too broad to be summed up in one sentence.
Let me give you an example of coronary heart disease around me. Old Tang, who lives in a unit, has had coronary heart disease for 20 years. From work to retirement, he is now in his seventies and is in good health. He goes out to exercise every day.
His diet is actually very simple. The principle is to control the total calories and eat a little of all kinds of food. He never goes on a diet and there are no particular foods that he must not eat. Take breakfast as an example. Sometimes he has eggs and milk, sometimes whole wheat bread and multigrain porridge, and sometimes he also eats meat buns. At noon, I will eat more fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables. I like to eat fish and less fatty meat. I will add some nuts in the afternoon. Eat less for dinner, mainly vegetarian food, and reduce staple food by half to control calorie intake and avoid gaining weight easily.
I have maintained this kind of eating habit, plus walking briskly for 1 to 2 hours every day, for 20 years. I rarely have angina pectoris, and I have never had a heart stent installed. My blood pressure and blood lipids are well controlled during annual physical examinations. Old Tang himself has a very good attitude. When he was first diagnosed with coronary heart disease, he did not resist taking medicine. Every time he had a review, he added medicine when the doctor asked him to. He never complained. His optimistic attitude was also an important factor in the stability of Old Tang's condition. . There are 5 dietary principles for patients with coronary heart disease
There is no food that patients with coronary heart disease cannot eat, but no matter what food they eat, they must pay attention to moderation. In summary, there are 5 dietary principles: control calories, limit fat, and moderate amounts. Protein, eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and avoid tobacco and alcohol.
Vegetable recommendations: Green leafy vegetables, soybeans, eggplants, onions, algae, mushrooms, etc. Vegetables are rich in vitamin C, cellulose, inorganic salts and pectin. Green or yellow vegetables contain more carotene, which has antioxidant effects. Vitamin C can affect myocardial metabolism and enhance blood vessel elasticity. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease can usually eat more of these types of vegetables. Vegetables with high starch content, such as taro and yams, can be consumed in moderation.
Fruit recommendations: hawthorn, citrus, pomegranate, grape, apple, etc. Consistently eating fruits can supplement vitamins and trace elements, as well as plant fiber. Consistently eating fruits for a long time can help prevent atherosclerosis and reduce mortality from coronary heart disease.
Meat recommendations: sea fish, salmon, lean meat, etc. Fish is the first choice to eat meat for coronary heart disease. Fish is rich in magnesium, which has a good protective effect on the cardiovascular system and is helpful in preventing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and myocardial infarction. In addition, if you eat poultry meat, lean meat should be the main one. Fatty meat contains more fat, which is not conducive to the control of blood lipids and weight.
Recommended nuts: hazelnuts, gifts, pistachios, almonds, etc. Nuts have high nutritional value, but unsaturated fatty acids and plant sterols are helpful in reducing the body's "bad cholesterol" (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). In addition, nuts also contain vitamin E, B complex and minerals, which are helpful in preventing cell aging and reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cataracts, etc. However, nuts have a relatively high fat content, so you don’t have to eat more of them, just a handful a day.
Finally, patients with coronary heart disease are encouraged to eat more whole grains, such as oats, corn, soybeans, black rice, buckwheat, etc. They can drink more tea, drink less alcohol, smoke less, and exercise more to stabilize their condition.

Coronary heart disease is the most common heart disease. It occurs because the formation of coronary atherosclerotic plaques causes coronary artery stenosis, which affects the normal blood and oxygen supply to the myocardium, thereby causing angina pectoris, palpitation, Chest tightness and a series of other symptoms. Atherosclerotic plaque formation is a product of aging, so coronary heart disease is more common in the elderly. What foods should elderly people with coronary heart disease not eat?
As a chronic disease, the management of coronary heart disease is also a process that requires patience and care. Long-term drug treatment is definitely necessary, which is fundamental. In addition, it is necessary to develop a healthy attitude that is adapted to the patient's condition. Good management habits are also crucial. Among them, dietary management is a very important aspect. He is still recovering from coronary heart disease for more than 20 years, and his dietary secret is simple!
Let’s take a look at the real experience of a long-lived elderly man with coronary heart disease.
Lao Hong was diagnosed with coronary heart disease at the age of 58. Like all patients, he was panicked when he was newly diagnosed. When I heard that I had a heart problem, I always felt that I didn't have long to live. After that, I didn’t do any work and stayed at home all day without going out. Being too cautious is Lao Hong's shortcoming, but it is also his advantage. Because he was cautious, he listened to the doctor's advice, even though he was very scared at first and did not dare to move or eat.
But later the doctor told him that patients with coronary heart disease should also exercise more and have dietary taboos, but they had to eat, and they had to eat when they should.
Then, Lao Hong would ask many questions every time he went to the hospital, including medication, diet, exercise, etc. He would write these down one by one and go home. Digest slowly. What's even more fortunate is that Lao Hong has a considerate wife. His wife treats Lao Hong too carefully in the eyes of his children. When it comes to food, Lao Hong never goes out to eat. Even if there are guests at home, he rarely participates and has his own special recipes. Lao Hong, who likes to drink porridge, has porridge for three meals a day, and his wife makes him various health-preserving porridges in different ways. Eat less salt, less oil, and less sugar. My wife always keeps this in mind every time she cooks. Lao Hong, who used to love eating meat, rarely eats meat now, only some fish. Perhaps it is such a refined life that allowed Lao Hong to live to be over 80 years old and is still alive today. How should patients with coronary heart disease eat?
I think many patients will understand after seeing Lao Hong’s story. You can live longer if you have coronary heart disease, it all depends on your personal attitude. If patients can live a careful life and take medicine patiently like Lao Hong, they can get along with coronary heart disease peacefully. As for diet, the key depends on the patient's attitude. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.
1. Foods that patients with coronary heart disease cannot eat: There are no absolute dietary taboos for patients with coronary heart disease. If there are, tobacco and alcohol are one category, and the other category is foods that need to be restricted. These are In fact, it is also the basic dietary requirement for all patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
① High-fat, high-cholesterol foods, such as animal meat, animal offal, seafood, egg yolks, fried foods, etc.;
② High-salt foods, in addition to salt restrictions for cooking, Also stay away from pickled foods, condiments, sauced foods, processed meats, etc.;
③High-sugar foods, such as cakes, moon cakes, desserts, candies, preserved fruits, sugary drinks, etc.;
④ It is best not to eat processed foods, such as puffed foods, fast foods, etc., as well as Western foods such as hamburgers and pizzas.
2. Foods that patients with coronary heart disease can eat: For patients with coronary heart disease, it is also critical to ensure a diverse and balanced diet. Because fat and sugar intake need to be controlled, they must be increased accordingly. Intake of high-quality protein, and of course vitamins, minerals, etc. necessary for the human body.
①Vegetables and fruits, rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, etc., are especially suitable for patients to eat;
②Soy products and milk and eggs, these are healthy foods that supplement high-quality protein and must be eaten by patients. Eat more;
③Fish, especially deep-sea fish, can replace pork, beef and mutton, etc., as a healthy choice for meat;
④Nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, etc. , a handful a day can help blood vessel health;
⑤ Coarse grains and potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and can be eaten with polished rice and noodles as a staple food;
⑥Tea Drinks such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, dandelion tea, etc. can be consumed as daily drinking water.

Coronary heart disease is not something you talk about casually. Usually, only those with coronary artery stenosis of more than 50% can be diagnosed with coronary heart disease after a clear medical diagnosis. Heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis Disease problems such as coronary heart disease and heart failure also fall into the category of coronary heart disease. A friend asked, what are the things that elderly people with existing coronary heart disease must not eat? Strictly speaking, there are no absolute dietary taboos for coronary heart disease, and there are no foods that will cause major risks to patients with coronary heart disease. Therefore, the dietary adjustment for patients with coronary heart disease is not as simple as eating or not eating, but should be a comprehensive and comprehensive dietary intervention. Today we will talk about the diet of patients with coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease should pay attention to which foods to eat less
Usually friends with coronary heart disease also often have health problems such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, diabetes, etc. Therefore, regardless of the cause of coronary heart disease, In terms of control, in terms of auxiliary conditioning and intervention in the three highs, you should try to eat as little as possible in these diets.
The first is a high-salt diet. A high-salt diet is an important dietary taboo that causes increased blood pressure. For many salt-sensitive hypertensive patients, eating too much salt can make it difficult to control blood pressure stably. Therefore, if you want to avoid the risk of cardiovascular disease and stabilize blood pressure, it is still necessary to eat a low-salt diet. In addition to paying attention to the salt used in cooking, the hidden salt ingested in snacks, drinks, and condiments in daily life is also very important. Worth noting. But another thing to note is that a low-salt diet does not mean a ban on salt. Appropriate intake of salt is very important for maintaining normal electrolyte balance and physiological functions. Do not overdo it and dare not eat salt.
The second is a high-fat and high-sugar diet. A high-fat and high-sugar diet is not the direct cause of hyperlipidemia and diabetes. However, for friends who already have hyperlipidemia and diabetes, it is important to control the source. The intake of fat and sugar is an important aspect to reduce the metabolic burden on the body and strengthen the regulation and control of blood lipids and blood sugar. In terms of high-fat diet, special attention should be paid to eating less fried, grilled, baked foods processed at high temperatures, and some animal fats and oils. In terms of high-sugar diet, in addition to sweet sugar, some refined carbohydrate-rich foods Grain, it would be better if it can be combined with coarse grains in appropriate amounts. But controlling high-fat and high-sugar foods does not mean not eating them at all, eating braised vegetables, or even skipping staple foods. Such practices will lead to incomplete nutritional intake of the body and are more likely to affect the body's health.
For patients with coronary heart disease, in order to avoid unnecessary risks of cardiovascular disease, it is recommended that they should try to avoid eating some overly stimulating foods, whether they are raw, cold or spicy. Well, if you eat it in excess and it is highly irritating, it will cause vasoconstriction and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. There is absolutely no need to increase the risk of the heart just to satisfy your mouth.
The issue of drinking should be discussed separately. Patients with coronary heart disease should drink as little as possible. It is best not to drink at all. Long-term heavy drinking will damage the health of the vascular endothelium and also affect the health of the heart. Therefore, if you already have coronary heart disease and do not control your drinking, the damage to cardiovascular health caused by alcohol abuse will accelerate the progression of coronary heart disease. Sometimes drinking a lot of alcohol at one time may lead to acute cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease must have some restrictions on drinking, drink moderately, and exercise restraint. How patients with coronary heart disease eat healthily
After understanding the poor diet of patients with coronary heart disease, it is easy to understand the healthy diet of patients with coronary heart disease. Low salt, low fat and low sugar, reasonable intake of dietary nutrients, while maintaining nutrition Under the premise of reasonable supplementation, try to avoid the metabolic burden on the body caused by excess energy intake. At the same time, pay attention to avoid the adverse effects of alcohol and avoid the risk of cardiovascular disease caused by diet. This is a healthy and reasonable diet.
In terms of specific dietary recommendations, it is recommended that patients with coronary heart disease eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. They can consume one to two kilograms of vegetables and half a kilogram of fruits every day. Pay attention to the combination of thick and thin staple foods, and eat more grains and soy products. Nutritious ingredients such as milk and eggs are all ingredients that can be eaten in moderation every day. Meats can be eaten in moderation. You can choose pure lean meat, deep-sea fish, etc. Friends who have the conditions should eat a small handful of nuts every day and pay attention to the eating process. Eat three regular meals, control the amount, and eat until you are about eight cents full at each meal. Such a eating habit can not only ensure a comprehensive and balanced intake of nutrients, but also reduce the metabolic burden on the body, which is very beneficial. Healthy eating habits in patients with coronary heart disease. In the severe cold winter, patients with coronary heart disease should also pay attention to these points in their lives
Now is winter, which is also the season of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. In this season, patients with coronary heart disease must not only make good dietary health adjustments In addition, the following aspects of life also deserve special attention -
First of all, pay attention to reasonable exercise. Never stop exercising just because the weather is cold. Reasonable and moderate exercise can help regulate cardiovascular health. Preventing the risk of cardiovascular disease is very important, but it should be noted that during exercise, first, you must choose a good time period to avoid severe fluctuations in blood pressure and blood sugar. On the other hand, you must also pay attention to avoid sudden cold or heat. Stimulate to avoid risk of cardiovascular disease.
The second is to maintain a good routine. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, but there are still many friends with coronary heart disease who cannot sleep peacefully. If you want to maintain a good and healthy sleep, in addition to maintaining good sleep relief, develop In addition to the habit of regular work and rest, you should also pay attention to the treatment of various basic diseases and do not let physical discomfort affect your sleep.
The third point is to avoid some life triggers of cardiovascular disease. For example, some friends with coronary heart disease have constipation, which may lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks due to excessive straining to defecate; while some friends with coronary heart disease have morning peak high blood pressure, and their blood pressure is not effectively controlled. Next, getting up in the morning to exercise or engage in other physical activities may lead to myocardial infarction; for example, some friends have a bad temper and like to get angry, and their severe mood swings may lead to major cardiovascular events; and others Friends, if you don’t pay attention to keeping warm in winter, going from a warm indoor to a cold outdoor, the sudden stimulation of cold and heat will also induce the occurrence of cardiovascular problems. These aspects are all worth noting in daily life.
Hello, I am Dr. Zhixinlan.
There are many patients with coronary heart disease. Many people believe that coronary heart disease is caused by food. Current research believes that the incidence of coronary heart disease is related to high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity, lack of physical exercise, genetic factors, etc. related. For patients who already have coronary heart disease, they must control from the above aspects to achieve good treatment results. Then let’s talk about some dietary precautions. It’s not that we must not eat any kind of food. That would be overstatement.
1. High-cholesterol foods
Studies believe that cholesterol in the human body, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is the culprit of atherosclerosis, and the essence of coronary heart disease is atherosclerosis. Like sclerosis, so it is very important for people with coronary heart disease to control cholesterol. This is why patients with coronary heart disease take statins and control their cholesterol below 1.8mmol/l.
The increase in cholesterol is indeed related to diet. 30% of the cholesterol in the human body is absorbed through food, and the remaining 70% is synthesized by itself. Dietary control is to reduce this 30% of cholesterol. Common high-cholesterol foods include animal offal (liver, intestine, kidney, lung, etc.), brain (especially high), crab roe, fish roe, egg yolk, etc. Eat as little or as little of these foods as possible if they are high in cholesterol.
2. High-fat, high-unsaturated fatty acid foods
Although triglycerides do not directly cause atherosclerosis, they are also high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and their breakdown products It will aggravate atherosclerosis, so it should be controlled. Common foods such as fatty meat, lard, fried foods, cakes, cream, and various pastries should be eaten as little as possible. Change cooking oil to vegetable oil and eat less animal oil; eat less red meat (pig, beef, sheep, etc.) and replace it with fish, poultry (such as skinless muscle), etc.
3. High-calorie, sugary foods
Cakes, moon cakes, chocolates, desserts, candies, honey, preserved fruits, sugary drinks, etc., which are high in sugar and calories, should be eaten as much as possible Eat less.
4. Quit smoking
Although cigarettes are not considered food, it must be emphasized that long-term smoking is an important factor in causing atherosclerosis, and quitting smoking as early as possible is beneficial to health.
5. Some other suggestions
The elderly have poor digestive function and should eat less hard food and softer food for easier digestion; do not eat too full, as a full meal can also induce myocardial ischemia. One of the factors is to eat until you are 70% full; it is very important to maintain smooth bowel movements. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables in season, which are rich in fiber, which is beneficial to intestinal peristalsis and smooth defecation.
In short, patients with coronary heart disease should pay appropriate attention to their diet and eat less of the foods mentioned above that can cause adverse effects. If you ask, is it okay to eat a little occasionally? Of course, these foods are not poison. Eating them occasionally will not have much impact, but this will not work for a long time.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should indeed have certain dietary taboos and preferences. Here, Health Bagua Circle has compiled some dietary taboos for coronary heart disease, hoping to be helpful to such patients.
1. Greasy food
For patients with coronary heart disease, remember not to eat too greasy food. It is more beneficial to eat more green vegetables and soy products rich in calcium and iron. But this does not mean that you cannot eat fish if you have coronary heart disease. You can eat it in small amounts. Foods that are too greasy and high in fat can aggravate the condition and symptoms of coronary heart disease. In addition, drinking more light scented tea, such as chrysanthemum, lotus seed, lily, etc., is very beneficial to the body.
2. Raw and cold food
Patients with coronary heart disease should pay attention not to eat raw or cold food, especially cold drinks. From a medical point of view, blood vessels tend to expand when the ambient temperature is high, but after drinking cold drinks, the blood vessels will shrink sharply, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure and induce serious diseases such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebral hemorrhage.
3. Carbohydrates
For example, it is best not to try Coke. Studies have shown that carbohydrates contain extremely high energy, which can be converted into fat in the body, thereby causing an increase in blood lipids and being unfavorable for the treatment of coronary heart disease.
4. Tobacco and alcohol
Patients with coronary heart disease who have smoking habits have a much higher incidence rate than non-smoking patients. This is because the ethanol contained in wine can consume oxygen in the heart, increase the load on the heart, and promote the aggravation of coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease should consider their own health and quit the bad habit of smoking and drinking. In addition, strong tea, chili peppers, etc. are all things that patients should stay away from.
5. Overeating
People with coronary heart disease cannot eat as much as ordinary people when they encounter delicacies, and refuse to eat anything that does not suit their appetite. Every time you eat, you should follow a certain amount. Eating smaller meals more frequently is the way to maintain good health. Also try to avoid eating foods that are not easy to digest.
The temperature drops in autumn and winter, which is the season of high incidence of coronary heart disease. For elderly friends with coronary heart disease, they should pay more attention to their health. Actively improve your eating patterns and maintain your own health. Hello everyone, I am Xiao Xing, a doctor of medicine. Welcome everyone to follow me and share interesting health knowledge every day.
Coronary heart disease is also called coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. The main reason is that the arteries and blood vessels have hardened, causing the blood vessels to become narrowed and blocked, and the blood cannot flow smoothly, which in turn causes myocardial ischemia and hypoxia.
Coronary heart disease is a common heart disease among Chinese people and can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Diet is closely related to the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease. A reasonable and scientific diet plays a positive role in controlling the disease.
1. What is not recommended for patients with coronary heart disease
2. What is recommended for patients with coronary heart disease
In addition to a reasonable diet, elderly patients with coronary heart disease should also Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep. Regular exercise helps control weight and promotes metabolism.
The aging of modern society is becoming more and more serious. As age increases, many parts of the body will age to varying degrees. Take blood vessels as an example. As the blood vessels grow, the blood vessels gradually harden and lose their elasticity. Fat and other garbage in the blood accumulate in the blood vessels, forming plaques and causing stenosis of the blood vessels. This is why many elderly people suffer from coronary heart disease.
In addition, diet and exercise are also very important. For patients with coronary heart disease, there is nothing that they cannot eat, but there must be foods that need to be controlled. , try not to eat greasy food, not to eat too spicy food, don't drink alcohol, strictly quit smoking, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in trace elements. It is also important to strengthen exercise. Choose an exercise method that suits you. It does not require too much fatigue, but you need to persist every day. This will not only strengthen your body, but also reduce psychological pressure and face the disease with a more positive and optimistic attitude. All of these are It helps prevent the occurrence of acute events and protects our health.
Respondent for this issue: Chen Yongmiao, Master of Medicine. Welcome to pay attention to the Life Calling Order and obtain more useful health knowledge.
Coronary heart disease is a cardiovascular disease. The essence is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. So, the things that cannot be eaten are mainly those things that will further have adverse effects on blood vessel function and blood circulation. What are the specific ones? , let’s list them one by one: High-cholesterol foods, especially animal offal
Can eggs be eaten?
It’s not completely impossible, but no more than two per day.
Special attention should be paid to quail eggs. Although they laugh, they are one of the poultry eggs with the highest cholesterol content. Pungent foods
Avoid irritating foods and condiments, such as chili, mustard, etc. Too cold food and strong tea.
Mainly, these irritating foods can easily cause contraction and spasm of blood vessels, leading to angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction. Foods that affect blood sugar
This is especially written for friends who also have diabetes. Because diabetes itself can induce coronary heart disease, many people with coronary heart disease often have a history of diabetes. If diabetes is not well controlled, vascular disease will continue. If a heart stent needs to be implanted, poor blood sugar control will make the surgery more likely to be unsuccessful.
Therefore, people with high glycemic index (please refer to other answers about diabetes diet), those with coronary heart disease and diabetes must be careful. , Tobacco and alcohol
Elderly people with coronary heart disease should drink as little as possible, and should not drink when combined with hyperlipidemia.
Alcohol can affect the body's lipid metabolism and reduce the body's ability to remove lipids from the blood, thereby increasing the incidence of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Everyone knows that smoking affects blood vessels, heart and lungs, but the key is to do it.
Having said so many things not to eat, what is better for patients with coronary heart disease to eat? Drink more water, especially these three cups of vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber
Eat more vegetables and fruits, such as celery, carrots, white radish, tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter melon, peanuts, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, kelp, etc. .
Vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber are particularly beneficial to blood sugar and blood lipids. Please refer to the answers to related questions in this article. Drink tea in moderation
The tea polyphenols in tea can improve the permeability of microvascular walls. There is a kind of coronary heart disease. No obvious ischemia can be found by catheterization or electrocardiogram, but the patient still has angina pectoris. The reason is the obstruction of small blood vessels, which can still lead to myocardial ischemia. Tea polyphenols can effectively enhance the elasticity of blood vessel walls and reduce the degree of atherosclerosis. The caffeine and theophylline in tea can directly excite the heart, expand coronary arteries, and enhance myocardial function.
Of course, the amount should be appropriate so as not to cause discomfort or affect sleep.
Doctor Wang, our old man has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease. What can he not eat in the future?
Dr. Wang said: There is no absolute thing that cannot be eaten if you have simple coronary heart disease, but often if coronary heart disease is complicated by diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, then you have to focus on the three high diets. The most important thing is the diabetic diet. You need to refer to the diabetic dietary guidance.
Today we will talk about the dietary recommendations for coronary heart disease without diabetes. On the one hand, this diet is suitable for the elderly with coronary heart disease, and it is more suitable for all people to prevent coronary heart disease.
First, dietary principles:
1. Use vegetable oil (containing unsaturated fatty acids) and less animal oil (containing saturated fatty acids);
2. More Eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and more seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, mainly steamed and simply processed;
3. Eat an appropriate amount of dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. It is best to choose low-fat or low-fat dairy products. Skim;
4. Eat fish twice a week, preferably white meat or poultry, eat less red meat, and try to use lean meat. (Tuna, sardines, and salmon are rich in heart-healthy linolenic acid (Ω-3 fatty acid). Sardines help reduce blood viscosity and blood pressure, maintain normal heart rhythm, and increase high-density lipoprotein. Scientific research has found that the human body Intake of more omega-3 fatty acids can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent sudden death caused by cardiac arrest);
5. Eat less sweets and limit sugary drinks; use fresh fruits instead of desserts , sweets, honey, pastries;
6. Add certain nuts, if acceptable.
Second, details
1. Choose more foods that are easy to digest, and avoid foods that are too cold, too hot, spicy, etc.
2. Don’t eat too much every time. Whether it is myocardial ischemia or heart failure, it is not advisable to eat too much, as it will induce angina pectoris or heart failure.
3. Eat a variety of foods and eat more foods that can improve bowel movements to ensure smooth bowel movements, because straining during bowel movements can also induce angina or heart failure.
Third, taboos
Actually, there are no absolute taboos, but you must not be too full. This is the fundamental principle. Eat relatively less animal offal and fat meat.
Low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar and low-calorie are also the principles. Low does not mean that it is impossible, but it is just enough, and too much is not enough!
Coronary heart disease itself is divided into different grades, but the principles are the same for everyone, please refer to them!
For patients with simple coronary heart disease, there are no absolutely taboo foods, but there are indeed some things in the patient’s diet that should be avoided or eaten in limited amounts:
First of all, the most important thing to limit is salt. Excessive intake of sodium salt will accelerate the aging of blood vessels and induce high blood pressure. Abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure will cause damage to the vascular endothelium, thereby forming atherosclerosis and vascular plaques. This is the most common factor that induces and aggravates coronary heart disease;
Secondly, foods containing a large amount of lipids need to be avoided as much as possible, such as fried foods, animal offal, fatty meat, fish roe, etc., as well as foods such as Fast food such as hamburgers; excessive intake of fat will promote the adhesion of cholesterol and other substances to the inner wall of blood vessels, and also increase the damage of lipid peroxidation to vascular endothelial function, and all of these are also important factors in aggravating and inducing coronary heart disease. Factors;
Third, desserts and other high-sugar and high-calorie foods should be avoided by patients with coronary heart disease. The rich calories will be converted into a large amount of fat in the human body, making people become obese. It is well known that obesity is one of the most common factors inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in recent years, which is also the main reason why patients with coronary heart disease are required to control their weight;
Fourth, for patients with coronary heart disease , drinks such as wine, coffee, and strong tea should be avoided as much as possible. These things can excite the nerve center, accelerate the heart rate, increase myocardial oxygen consumption, thereby increasing the burden on the heart and aggravating coronary heart disease;
Fifth, there are several problems that many patients have not noticed. One is cold drinks. Too low temperature will promote the rapid contraction of blood vessels and can easily induce angina. The other is overeating. Eating too much will increase the load on the heart and even cause heart failure. It can lead to the rupture of blood lipid plaques, and overeating can also increase blood lipid levels and induce the formation of thrombosis. These are important factors leading to angina pectoris and myocardial infarction!
Patients with coronary heart disease should also add some vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber to their diet to promote digestion and excretion and prevent constipation!
